import ActionCable from "./index"

// The ActionCable.Consumer establishes the connection to a server-side Ruby Connection object. Once established,
// the ActionCable.ConnectionMonitor will ensure that its properly maintained through heartbeats and checking for stale updates.
// The Consumer instance is also the gateway to establishing subscriptions to desired channels through the #createSubscription
// method.
//
// The following example shows how this can be setup:
//
//   App = {}
//   App.cable = ActionCable.createConsumer("ws://example.com/accounts/1")
//   App.appearance = App.cable.subscriptions.create("AppearanceChannel")
//
// For more details on how you'd configure an actual channel subscription, see ActionCable.Subscription.
//
// When a consumer is created, it automatically connects with the server.
//
// To disconnect from the server, call
//
//   App.cable.disconnect()
//
// and to restart the connection:
//
//   App.cable.connect()
//
// Any channel subscriptions which existed prior to disconnecting will
// automatically resubscribe.
